What are some of the best name combinations you came across while serving?

 

I knew a Soldier  with the last name Major and he was a sergeant, so when someone would call his name SGT Major, Soldiers would go to parade rest or the Sergeant Major (E-9) would turn around.

I worked with a MSG Majors a few years back. She confuse the hell out of people when she answered the phone. I also saw a SGT Faggot on an IRR roster I definitely understand why he wanted to get out.

When I was promoted to Sergeant, folks started having trouble saying "Sergeant Schwager." It's not that hard, but it was kind of embarrassing when you'd be standing in formation and they'd call your name and screw it up. LOL

We had a "Major Dick" on 22 MEU float. Before the float was over he got promoted to LtCol. In reality, he was a pretty cool guy and didn't live up to his namesake.
